Synchronizing Cluster Files

Note: File synchronization (or cluster sync) copies configuration files from the target server to the remaining servers in the cluster. Performing a cluster sync will launch qp_procmgr on the target servers, so this action should only be performed from the Active server, or else a failure occurs. A warning screen opens before continuing with the sync to help prevent this issue from occurring. There is a separate sync operation for DSCP configurations.

To synchronize the cluster files:

Log in to the platcfg utility using one of two methods, either from the system console using root or through an SSH remote session using admusr.
- To access the platcfg utility from the system console:
  1. Log in as root.
  2. Enter su - platcfg.
- To access the platcfg utility through an SSH remote session:
  1. Log in as admusr.
  2. Enter sudo su - platcfg.
Note: The dash (-) is required in the su - platcfg or the sudo su - platcfg command to ensure proper permissions.
Select Policy Configuration from the Main Menu screen and press Enter.
Select Cluster File Sync from the Policy Configuration Menu screen and press Enter.
Select Start Synchronizing from the Cluster Configuration Sync Menu screen and press Enter.
Note: A warning message screen opens, indicating that a cluster sync will launch qp_procmgr on the target servers.

Warning: This action should only be performed from the Active server, otherwise a failure will occur.
Select OK and press Enter.
Configuration files are synced to the other servers in the cluster, and qp_procmgr is restarted on the target servers.
